He nodded in agreement, but his face changed again, looking sad and forlorn. “I fuckin’ hate that you ever spent a day without that, baby.”
I wanted to wipe his expression clear, melt away the pain. For the first time, I wanted to make Garrett feel better, not hurt him because he’d hurt me, so I leaned in and placed a soft kiss against his lips. “Let’s make a deal. Right here, right now.”
“Yeah? What deal?”
“This very moment is a fresh start for us.”
One of his brows quirked up as a snarky smirk spread across his lips. “Isn’t that a little hard considering we already have a kid together?”
“You know what I mean,” I said with an eye roll. “No more holding on to the past. We agree to let go of all the hard feelings and animosities and start over. What do you say?”
He watched me in silence for several seconds before holding one of his big hands between us. “Hi. I’m Garrett Wilder.”
I let out a little giggle and shook his hand. “Nice to meet you, Garrett. I’m Gwendolyn Carson.”
His hand gripped mine and held tight. “I want to start this off right, Gwendolyn, so can I be honest with you?”
“Please.”
“I think you’re insanely beautiful, and I’m dying to bend you over this table and fuck you ’til you can’t stand.”
I swallowed past the sudden dryness in my throat. “Well, Garrett, we’re both being honest here, right?”
“Definitely.”
Brushing my lips against his, I whispered the words I knew would get me exactly what I wanted. “Then what are you waiting for?”
SEVENTEEN
Something about being around Garrett—beingwithhim—empowered me, like I could ask for what I wanted from him without judgment. Something in my gut told me he’d accept nothing less than for me to demand it, and he’d more than happily give it to me.
“So fuckin’ perfect,” he growled, sliding his hands inside the T-shirt I was wearing. His growl turned into a desperate groan when he encountered my naked skin. “You in my shirt with no panties has to rank somewhere in the top five of my ultimate fantasies.”
My breath hitched and my eyes fell closed as one hand snaked around my front and began toying with my slit. “Well, I’m here to please—” The words caught in my throat when he filled me with two fingers, pumping in and out at the same time his thumb pressed against my clit.
“Oh, baby. You please me like no one else. Just watching you like this makes me hard enough to pound nails.” He thrust his hips upward, rubbing his hard cock against me. “Can you feel it? What you do to me? How you drive me crazy?”
I ground against him, wanting to take every part of him as deep as I could.
“That’s it, baby. Ride my hand, get yourself there.”
My hips circled faster in pursuit of my orgasm, but it remained just out of reach. “Garrett,” I whimpered. “Please.”
His hand disappeared from between my legs for just a moment so he could whip the shirt over my head, leaving me completely bare on his lap. One hand returned to my pussy while the other gripped my waist, pulling me even closer. His lips latched onto my nipple, drawing it deep into his mouth, creating the perfect combination of pleasure. But still… “Not enough.” I was on the verge of begging. “Please, Garrett. More.”
“You want my cock?” he asked before giving my nipple a bite that sent shots of pleasure from breast to clit.
“Yes,” I gasped. “I want it.”
“My greedy girl,” he murmured.
“I need you to fuck me.”
Garrett stopped playing with me and quickly lifted me off his lap, spinning me around to face the table. The chair scraped loudly across the tile floor as he stood and forced my chest against the chilled surface, then circled my hips with both hands. “Want you bare, baby. Tell me that’s okay,” he pleaded. The request should have made warning bells go off inside my head, but this wasn’t like last time. We weren’t so lost that we were unaware. And I’d been on the pill for a long time. “I’m clean,” he continued, his tone belying his craving for me. “Swear to God, baby. I get tested regularly. I wouldn’t do that to you.”
“Me too,” I answered. “I’m on the pill.”
I barely got the last word out before his boxer briefs hit the floor and he filled me so completely it took my breath away. “Yes,” I hissed, throwing my head back as everything in me began to buzz.
